Robert Caro, in the LBJ series, wrote about how LBJ would use the discomfort of being the bathroom as a negotiating technique and a show of dominance. He would drag senators into the bathroom and force them to listen to him talk as he used the urinal, or force his staffers to take dictation as he took a shit.

Also, LBJ allegedly unzipped his fly and exposed himself to reporters demanding to know why the U.S. was in Vietnam, declaring, "This is why!".

his limp biscuit is why the US was in Vietnam? Was Vietnam hording the viagra? The US sure has a history of psychopathic presidents.

		"limp biscuit" is an activity, not a euphemism for a penis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soggy_biscuit

Crazily enough, I’ve also heard he pulled his Johnson out in meetings.

I'd like to say that is where the slang originates, but perhaps it just gave him extra license.

Toobin would like a word.

		Toobin had many words. Most of them were onomatopoeias.

I have seen more than one CEOs of big companies do this. The number VPs is probably a lot more.

		The TV show Veep is great. She behaves like this sort of arsehole, with utterly crass behaviour, and coming from a female makes it more striking. Amazing show.

Apparently he urinated on the shoes of a secret service agent just as a flex.

We now know why he served only one term:)

Why? It sounds like he was a number two term president.

		It was somewhat of a joke;) He completed Kennedy's term and and was only only elected once. He refused to run for a 3rd. Given the immense ego's of these guys one might assume it was because he was unlikely to win. Peeing on people is unlikely to win you a lot of friends.
